The Government dredge or sna.

The Government dredge or snag
boat, John r. Meigs, commanded by
the veteran steamboatman, P. r. Starr,
arrived here Monday morning and tied
up here until yesterday at noon when
she left for the Rapions, where she is
to work awhile, after which she will
go to Vicksburg. Of the work accom-
plished in the river above, too much
cannot be said, and the steamboat pi-
lots of Red River are loud in their
praise thereof, as the river above has
been thoroughly cleaned out. The
Meigs entered the river Feb. 9Th, when
work was commenced, and concluded
her labors on the 18th inst. (Monday.)
During that time she pulled up $40
snags, 229 shore snags, "a stumps,
and cut GA trees. The work was
done under the immediate supervision
of Capt. J. H. Willard, corps of engi-
neers, U. S. A., who is an energetic
worker and deserves praise for the ra-
pidity in which he accomplished it.
Capt. Ben Kay, well known to Alex
andrians, was plotting the Meigs-he,
too, says the work is good, just what
has been needed many years.

-DIsTRIcT Attorney MARITIME, of New

Senators on the authority of Plnkerton's
men to carry arms, made this statement
touching the recent labor troubles: "a
numerous class of our people have been
engaged in movement to better their
condition. 1t does not appear that they
have gone beyond lawful efforts. If they
do, there are regular police and military
sufficient to restrain them, aud they should
not be placed at the mercy of armed
strangers in private employ"

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly
For March.

The great subject of the day for the
American people, is the exposed condition
Of our great sea ports, in dozen of which
one-fourth of the wealth and resources of
the whole nation is accumulated. Des-
tructiOn of a great port would spread ruin
to all parts Of the country. Mr.. Joseph
Nimno, Jr., in his article, "Our Unpro-
tected Seacoast," gives lesson that all
should read. Leaving the seashore, the
Popular Monthly for March next takes us
with Christian Reid for guide, to IA
Fairyland of Science" the rich and pic
turesque mountain land Of North Carroll
ma. To know how Russia is carrying civ
ilization into the heart of Asia, we can
see in a careful and interesting article on
"The Transcaspian Railway" Mrs. Pierce
devotes some enthusiastic pages to the
life and home of q great-bearted and tai
ented woman, Helen Hunt Jackson
(H. H. Holder, the naturalist, tells Of
"Stone Forests" and articles on ''Gar-
dens," on "Vesta and the Vestals," on
"Linnaus, and Upsala University" and
on "Sir Phillip Sidney" with very clever
stories, like Ausburn Towner's "a Very
Peculiar Boy" Golfers "Strange Revela-
tion," "Her Fathers Secretary" "rhe
Statue and the Lamp" give matter as en-
tertaining and attractive, as the more Sc
rious articles are interesting and instruc-
tive. The whole combine to make a num-
Der, which, in matter and the number,
variety and excellence of the ensravings,
are model of a Popular Monthly. Pub

A NEW LAND COMPANY.
THE RED, CANE AND OLD RIVER SEC
TONS TO BE DEVELOPED AND
BROUGHT INTO THE
MARKET.

There has just been organized in
this city, says the Times Democrat of
the 4th inst, land company, which is
composed of some of the leading gen
tlemen of the city.
The Object in organizing the Red
River Land Company of Louisiana lie
to encourage the land owners in that
beautiful country known as the Red
Cane and Old river sections to sell
portions of their land to this company,
taking therefor shares of the capital
stock, which is fixed at sl,500,Co0, in
$4,000 shares of $500 each, and be-
come interested in the success of the
company; by this method the COM
pany hopes to get control of at least
one half of the idle lands in the Red
River Valley, and by vigorous emf
grafton movement settle them up in
small farms with thrifty class of far
mers from the Northwestern and New
England States, and the people of
Shreveport, Coushatta, Mansfield, Ro-
beline, Natchitoches, Provencal, Mont
gomery, Cloutierville and Alexandria
are particularly requested to interest
themselves in this live movement to
redeem the once beautiful country now
SO much in decay.
The office of the Red River Land
Company of Louisiana is located on
the ground floor of the marble build
ing at 102 Camel street, New Orleans,
in which the Germania National Bank
is located, enabling the company thus
to display town and parish maps con-
spicuonsly and make known the re
sources, whether mineral, agricultural,
horticultural, dairying or stock raising,
of the country; where the company's
lands are situated-and thereby open
it up to progress and prosperity. Hav-
ing confidence in the feasibility of this
movement accomplishing a work which
once prosecuted in any part of the
State redounding to the good of Lou.
isana's entire population, the cooper
alton of citizens is asked, and particu-
larly in the localities where the CON-
pany for the present largely confines
its operations.
